O nce I stood in the night
With my hea d bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my hea rt felt alo ne and I cri ed oh Lor d
Don 't hide your fa ce from me
L ike a king I may li ve in a pa lace so tal l

Bu t I don't kn ow a th ing
I n this whole wi de wor ld
Th at's worse than bei ng alo ne
H old my hand all the w ay every ho ur every day
Come her e to the great unk nown
T ake my ha nd le t me sta nd
W here no on e sta nds al one
T ake my ha nd le t me sta nd
W here no on e sta nds a lone
